Chapter 14: Xia Hai’s Cold Heart
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xia Hai’s daughter was about to lose her life, but Li Jin didn’t seem to care one bit. He even thought that Xia Wan was pretending. Xia Yu only had an arm injury, but Li Jin started to make a scene and slander her, as if he wanted his child to pay double the price.
Xia Hai was hurt. He wanted to ask Li Jin, “In her heart, if my brothers’ children are his own, then are my children not? Aren’t they all my grandchildren?”
Li Jin didn’t see Xia Hai’s emotional state. All she saw was the money that originally belonged to her being taken away by Yan Han. Li Jin immediately pounced over and tried to snatch it away.
“This is my money. My son gave it to me as a gift. Why don’t you give it to me?”
Yan Han immediately stuffed the money into his pocket, not letting Li Jin touch it.
She held Xia Wan tightly. “Mother, I can’t give you this money. This is for saving my daughter’s life!
Xia Hai stopped Li Jin and sighed. “Mother, I’ve given you all the money I’ve earned all these years, more than what my two brothers have given me, but how much have you actually spent on our family? Mother, you should be clear that although there are some things that your son is not willing to mention, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t know.”
“Mother, if you still acknowledge me as your son, then pass the money to Yan Han.”
Hearing Xia Hai’s heartless words, Li Jin was frightened.
She couldn’t figure out why her son had started to distance himself from her. When she had argued with Yan Han before, Xia Hai had always asked Yan Han to speak less.
But now, she was just taking the money normally, so why did Xia Hai want to cut off all ties with her?
Li Jin couldn’t figure it out, but when he saw Xia Wan, he understood. It was all because of this girl!
Xia Wan pretended to be upset, but she was actually shocked.
She thought that her father was beyond saving and didn’t expect that he still cared about them. Now, in order to protect them, he even dared to fight against Li Jin.
Although Chen Lian was angry, Xia Wan was in a terrible state, so she didn’t say anything. She rolled her eyes and said to Li Jin, “Mother, the money for Xia Yu’s medical treatment has to be paid from public funds, right? We’ll give you all of our wages. Xia Ye has to study hard when school starts. She’s a social animal, so she’ll have to spend a lot of money.
“Mother, you know that our Xia Yu is very successful. The money we spend on him now will be doubled when she returns it in the future.
Li Jin understood the meaning behind Chen Lian’s words and agreed with her. He said magnanimously, “Yes, Xia Yu is my grandson. He’s sick now, so I’m taking his money from public funds.”
In the end, he didn’t mention Xia Wan’s matter, which meant that he had silently agreed to let her family come to see her.
“We can’t delay treating Xia Yu’s arm. I’ll go get the money now. Go to the county hospital and find the best doctor to treat Xia Yu.”
Li Jin seemed to be trying to provoke Xia Wan, as he deliberately spoke loudly.
Xia Wan didn’t care at all, which only made Xia Hai feel more disheartened.
When Wanwan was sick, why didn’t Li Jin ask her to go to the county hospital?
After everyone else had left, only Xia Hai and his family were left in the house.
Yan Han was anxiously pacing around the room, his hands occasionally slapping the floor. “What should we do about Wanwan’s condition? should we go to the county hospital as well? But we only have 300 yuan. Will it be enough for the county hospital?”
Xia Chen also frowned, looking anxious.
Although Xia Feng didn’t say anything to show his concern, he stayed by Xia Wan’s side the whole time. He just deliberately put on a stern face and didn’t talk to Xia Wan.
In fact, Xia Feng had been secretly observing Xia Wan’s condition several times, and she had seen it all.
When everyone else had left, Xia Wan’s cough gradually subsided, but her face was still pale. She pointed to the basket on her back. “Mom, you can boil the mulberry leaves into medicine. After taking it for a few days, I will be completely fine. I don’t need to go to the hospital.
Xia Feng was worried but still said proudly, “You’re not a doctor. How do you know that it’ll work? Don’t make your condition worse. We’ll have to spend more money to treat you then.”
“Can’t you just hope for the best for your sister?” Yan Han glared at him and scolded him.
Xia Chen said, “I think what Xia Feng said makes sense. Wanwan, don’t worry about not having enough money. Let’s go to the hospital first. If it’s too expensive, we can ask Grandma for it. She can’t refuse to pay.”
Xia Hai thought the same and was ready to carry Xia Wan to the hospital.
“I’m telling the truth,” Xia Wan quickly said,” Grandpa taught me before.”
